Falooda is a popular dessert drink made with takmaria/sabja (basil seeds), vermicelli, rose syrup, milk, and ice cream. We often make this really simple yet delicious dessert when we have guests coming over. It is very easy and quick to make, AND it’s so pretty and pink! I love anything and everything rose flavored, you might have noticed if you follow me on Instagram.

The soaked basil seeds is very similar to chia seeds. The basil seeds have a cooling effect on the body. Also they fill you up as they expand in your stomach, much like chia seeds. Many people add nuts to this as well, but I’m plain Jane and I prefer my falooda without it. You can certainly add your favorite nuts to it and make is shahi (royal).

I basically make a milkshake with malai kulfi, milk, and the rose syrup. I then pour the milkshake over the soaked basil seeds and the sev. Top it with another scoop of ice cream, because why not. The more ice cream the better am I right? Or am I right? I hope you will enjoy this dessert drink as much as my family and I do.
Stay happy, Stay hungry!
